Remarks

This class takes a ContributorInput, suggests change proposals, and then creates additional ContributorInputs for processing. This class does the bulk of the work of proposing and notifying the refactoring contributor manager of changes.

You create a derivation of this class for each RefactoringContributor that you create. You might create contributors to handle:

  • Changes to schema object symbols

  • Changes to references to schema objects

  • Changes to symbol references in scripts

  • Changes to symbol references in database unit tests

  • Changes to symbol references in data generation plans
